West Virginia Geocoin Challenge

Please note that you have until the 4:00 APRIL 30, 2013 to turn in your completed playcard(s) to receive your reward. This series will be retired, and the geocaches will be adopted out or archived. This deadline has been placed on these series due to the planning and launch of another large-scale series coming mid 2013.

The first ExploreWV GeoChallenge is the West Virginia Geocoin Challenge. Be one of the first 250 geocachers to complete the inaugural event of the ExploreWV GeoChallenge and receive a limited-edition West Virginia geocoin. The challenge is a four-part adventure that will take you throughout the Mountain State where you will discover hidden caches at tourist attractions, museums and historic markers.

Each “cachegory” will contain nine to 10 caches, and seekers must find and document at least five caches from each, plus sign the logbook at the West Virginia State Museum to receive the limited-edition coin. There is a limit of one coin per household.

To be eligible for the West Virginia geocoin, you must be a registered member of ExploreWV GeoChallenge.
